did 2 runs while at work last night to get the miles I wanted. I can't be gone for too long so I had to break it up (4 and 2). It is hard running in the middle of the night. I feel so much slower. AP: 8:22 and 8:33.

did acouple of runs at work again. They were closer to 3 miles each because of a page interrupting the first run. I was so tired I almost talked myself out of going tonight. Glad I went though I felt better for a short time after. AP: 8:22.

Did a couple of runs at work overnight again. the first one was 5.4 miles it was nice not to get paged for that long. Finished out another short one to get over 6 miles. It was a super night for running. I think my body is adjusting to the night shift. just about time to change back again. AP: 8:15

The first run tonight at work was faster than 8 min/mile. I think that the difference was the music. I usually listen to an audiobook but I listened to a fairly faced paced music track. I did pull my gastroc on the 2nd run of the night. I think I will go slower tomorrow. AP: 7:53 and 8:09.

long run for the week I was going to do more than just 9 miles I was unfortunately too tired to do more though. The miles felt really pretty good after I got warmed up. I ran up a road that has a nice gradual slope I was pretty happy that I was able to keep my pace under 9/mile for each mile. The downhill miles were faster than 8/mile. AP: 8:17/mile.
